When it's split the "front" of the room (the Experimental Classroom) has a capacity of 30 while the "back" of the room (the Idea Incubator) has a capacity of 18.
The Collaboratory hosts both classes and meetings/events. In the case of the former, priority is given to classes that leverage the space's technology in new, creative, and collaborative ways.
The Collaboratory page has more information.
The Learning Glass Studio is located on the second floor of Hege Academic Commons (room 232, which is inside the Collaboratory).
Instructors can use the Studio to record lectures for classes of all modalities or broadcast live lectures for remote classes. The LED lightboard allows the instructor to write normally while the Learning Glass technology automatically flips it for viewers. The Learning Glass Studio is a one-button studio for maximum ease of use.
The Ideation Lab is located on the Commons Ground level of Hege Academic Commons. It has a maximum capacity of 20, including the instructor(s).
There are 5 desktop machines in the space (3 Windows and 2 Macs), 16 laptops for student use (3 Windows and 13 Macs), a large video screen, an Epson V600 Perfection scanner, and a CZUR ET16 Plus book scanner. Most of the furnishings are flexible and can be arranged to suit the instructor's needs.
The software on both the laptops and the desktops can be used for digital media creation and editing, including images and podcasts.
A completely renovated space in Duke Hall, the Leak Room provides another area for innovative instructors to experiment with new pedagogical techniques. In this technology-enriched setting, instructors can leverage flexible furnishings, state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment, and laptops from the kiosk to create a collaborative, interactive environment that can be split into up to 6 zones, each with its own video monitor.
The Leak Room can accommodate 2 instructors and 56 students. Please see the Leak Room page for more information.
